You'll get suggestions here but you may want to spend some time in the Audio/Electronics forum:

here's my setup - all the power/equip behind the passenger seat and a 10" Image Dynamics in the corner - i like it because i didn't have to sacrifice anything really

I have Boston Acoustic Pro 60's in the doors (6.5" component) and a set of alpines in the rear for filler. Love it! My wiring isnt as clean as I'd like it, i need to find some little box or something to hide that jumble of wires so it looks cleaner.

I seriously considered that enclosure, but I didnt want to lose the cargo well in that corner..(That's where I keep my chamois, towels, window cleaner, etc)...My C6 is a Z06, so I only have one (drivers side) cargo well since the other one (passenger side) has the battery in it.....The pic I posted doesnt really show it, but I still have plenty of room for a couple suitcases, etc....

my settup is simple but very effective, one fosgate ten shallow sub and an alpine 500 amp. the stock system is great as long as you add bass to it. you would be shocked. be safe, paul

I like the sub in the back, but I would need a grill over it...or it would end up with a golf club stuck in it!

JL Audio ZR650 CSi Front speakers in the doors powered by a JL Audio 300/4 amp, a JL Audio 8W3v3 subwoofer in a custom enclosure in the corner of the trunk powered by a JL Audio 250/1 amp both amps are in the trunk under the vert top storage.

And don't forget to disconnect the front and rear speakers, they suck (like all the crappy paper bose speakers) and are mono not stereo - go figure.

It sounds awesome!
